I Left Geenville this morning at an ungodly hour. That's a few days in a row I've been up just after 5. I wouldn't complain but I was up late packing and getting ready. On Thursday part of the issue was my volleyball league. It was worth it in the end. We won the whole league. I also made some new friends playing with this team who will likely let me play with them again.
Jane also came out for some of the volleyball with Isabelle, which was nice. I'm away for a little while and I won't get to see them much. Add to that the fact that this week has been totally crazy with late days for me and lots of activities for everybody, and it feels like we haven't seen much of each other lately (or maybe it's just me).
Back to today...the flights were good. In fact both the Greenville to Newark leg and the Newark to Heathrow flight were only about one third full. I got some prime seats too. A bulkhead row by myself meant lots of legroom and space to do some work and catch up on my email. Sneak in a nap and a movie and before you know it you're in the UK.
Arriving at Heathrow was a little hairy with practically zero visibility and some gusty winds. Once down we were met by the police at the gate who escorted a young lady off. It looked like someone tipped them off or something. Nothing ever seems to go smoothly.
A quick trip through customs, got my bag, and I'm off to Greenwich on the tube to find Rob, Michelle, Aidan, and little Kathleen (although she is not so little anymore).
Tomorrow is a trip into London and likely out for Indian food later. By then I should have pictures to post. In the meantime I leave you with Dave Carroll. I didn't fly United this time but Dave has a story to tell if you haven't heard it before. It's a good one. You can find out more here if you're interested.
